Erklärung غیر قابل خوردن in your Level:
At the A1 level, you don't need to master the full phrase 'غیر قابل خوردن' (inedible) yet, but it is helpful to recognize its components. You likely know 'khordan' (to eat) and 'ghaza' (food). At this stage, instead of using this long phrase, you might say 'In khub nist' (This is not good) or 'Nakhordani' (Not for eating). However, beginning to see how 'Gheyr' (non) works as a prefix is a great introduction to how Persian builds complex words. Think of it as the 'un-' in 'unhappy'. If you see this word on a label, just remember 'khordan' means eat, and the 'Gheyr' at the start means 'No'. This will help you avoid eating things you shouldn't when traveling in Iran.

At the A2 level, you are starting to use more descriptive adjectives. You might already know 'khoshmazeh' (delicious) and 'badmazeh' (bad tasting). 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' is the next step up. It is used when 'badmazeh' isn't strong enough. For example, if you burn your toast completely black, it's not just 'bad', it's 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan'. You should practice the 'Ezafe' connection: 'ghabel-e khordan'. This level is about recognizing that this is a formal way to say 'can't eat it'. You might use it to describe a very old piece of fruit or a mushroom you found in the woods that looks dangerous.

At the B1 level, 'غیر قابل خوردن' is a key part of your vocabulary. You should be able to use the 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e [Infinitive]' structure to create other adjectives. This word is essential for discussing health, safety, and cooking. You are now expected to distinguish between something that tastes bad and something that is truly inedible. You can use it in sentences with reasons, such as 'This is inedible because it's too salty' (In ghaza be dalil-e shuri-ye ziad, gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast). This shows you can link complex adjectives with causal phrases, a hallmark of the B1 level.
At the B2 level, you should use 'غیر قابل خوردن' with nuance. You can use it to describe abstract concepts or in professional settings. For instance, in a business meeting about food imports, you might use this term to describe a shipment that failed quality standards. You should also be comfortable with its synonyms like 'sami' (poisonous) or 'fased' (spoiled) and know when to choose 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' as a more general, formal summary. You can also start using it in the passive sense or in conditional sentences: 'If we don't refrigerate the meat, it will become inedible' (Agar goosht ra dar yakhchal nagozarim, gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan khahad shod).

At the C1 level, you understand the subtle social implications of using such a formal and definitive term. You can use 'غیر قابل خوردن' metaphorically in literary or political contexts to describe something that is 'unpalatable'—though 'gheyr-e ghabel-e hazm' (indigestible) is more common for ideas. You are also expected to know the historical and Arabic roots of the prefix 'Gheyr' and the word 'Ghābel'. You can engage in complex debates about food safety regulations or environmental pollution using this term as a standard descriptor. Your pronunciation should be perfect, hitting the Ezafe clearly and maintaining the formal register.

At the C2 level, 'غیر قابل خوردن' is a tool for precise legal or scientific discourse. You might find this term in legal documents regarding food liability or in high-level scientific journals discussing toxicological thresholds. You understand the historical evolution of the 'Gheyr-e ghabel' construction in Persian literature. You can use the term with irony or sarcasm in sophisticated social settings. You also know related archaic or highly specialized terms like 'la-yakol' (Arabic-derived, meaning inedible) which might appear in very old texts or specific religious dietary laws, and you can compare them to the modern usage of 'غیر قابل خوردن'.

غیر قابل خوردن in 30 Sekunden

  • Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan means inedible or unsafe to eat in Persian.
  • It is a formal compound word used in health, science, and cooking contexts.
  • It differs from 'bad-mazeh' (bad tasting) by implying a physical impossibility or danger.
  • Grammatically, it follows the 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e [Infinitive]' pattern, which is very productive.

The Persian term غیر قابل خوردن (Gheyr-e Ghābel-e Khordan) is a complex adjective used to describe items that are unsuitable, unsafe, or impossible to consume as food. Linguistically, it is a compound construction. The word Gheyr acts as a negating prefix meaning 'non' or 'un'. Ghābel translates to 'capable' or 'worthy', and Khordan is the infinitive 'to eat'. Combined, they literally mean 'not capable of being eaten'. This term is essential for B1 learners because it moves beyond simple adjectives like 'bad' (bad) or 'dirty' (kasif) into precise, formal descriptions of safety and quality.

Formal Usage
In formal contexts, such as health inspections, scientific reports, or high-end culinary reviews, this phrase is the standard way to denote that something is inedible due to toxicity, decay, or extreme physical hardness.
Colloquial Hyperbole
While technically formal, Iranians often use this phrase dramatically in daily life to describe a meal that has been severely overcooked or over-salted, suggesting it is physically impossible to swallow.

این قارچ‌ها سمی هستند و غیر قابل خوردن می‌باشند.

Translation: These mushrooms are poisonous and are inedible.

Understanding the 'Gheyr-e Ghābel-e [Infinitive]' structure is a major milestone in Persian grammar. It allows you to create hundreds of adjectives like 'unwashable' or 'unreadable'. For instance, Gheyr-e ghābel-e ersāl means 'unsendable'. By mastering this specific term, you are learning a productive grammatical pattern that will significantly expand your vocabulary range. You will encounter this word on food packaging, in warnings at nature parks, and in kitchen settings where a dish has gone terribly wrong. It implies a definitive state—it is not a matter of taste, but a matter of possibility or safety.

گوشت سوخته و کاملاً غیر قابل خوردن بود.

Translation: The meat was burnt and completely inedible.
Chemical Context
Used in labs to describe substances that may look like water or food but are chemically hazardous.

In the context of Iranian culture, where food and hospitality are paramount, calling a host's food 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' is a severe insult. It is much stronger than saying you don't like it. It suggests the food is beneath the status of being 'edible'. However, in a humorous setting among close friends, it can be used to tease someone who is a novice cook. You might see this word in Persian news reports concerning food safety violations in restaurants, where inspectors declare certain batches of meat as 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan'.

آب این رودخانه به دلیل آلودگی غیر قابل خوردن است.

Translation: The water of this river is undrinkable (inedible/unconsumable) due to pollution.

Using غیر قابل خوردن requires an understanding of how Persian adjectives follow the noun they modify, usually connected by an 'Ezafe' (the short 'e' sound). However, since this is a complex adjective phrase, it often appears as a predicate after the verb 'to be' (budan). For example, 'In ghazā gheyr-e ghābel-e khordan ast' (This food is inedible). Below, we explore various sentence structures to help you integrate this word into your B1-level Persian.

Predicate Usage
The most common way to use it is at the end of a sentence to describe the state of a subject. 'Nan-e khoshk shodeh gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast' (The dried-out bread is inedible).

به نظر من، این میوه‌های کال غیر قابل خوردن هستند.

Translation: In my opinion, these unripe fruits are inedible.

When modifying a noun directly, the Ezafe is used. 'Ghazā-ye gheyr-e ghābel-e khordan' (Inedible food). This is slightly more formal and often used in written descriptions. You might see this on a sign: 'Mavād-e gheyr-e ghābel-e khordan' (Non-edible materials). It is important to remember that 'Gheyr' is always followed by another word, and the entire unit acts as a single adjective. You cannot separate 'Gheyr' from 'ghabel-e khordan' without losing the meaning.

آشپزخانه پر از مواد غیر قابل خوردن و کثیف بود.

Translation: The kitchen was full of inedible and dirty materials.

In more complex B1/B2 sentences, you can use adverbs like 'kamalan' (completely) or 'vaghe'an' (really) to intensify the adjective. 'In ghaza vaghe'an gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast!' (This food is really inedible!). This adds emotional weight to your statement. If you are discussing history or biology, you might use it to describe ancient seeds or poisonous plants found in the desert. The word maintains its formal integrity across all these contexts.

دانشمندان متوجه شدند که این گیاه برای انسان غیر قابل خوردن است.

Translation: Scientists realized that this plant is inedible for humans.
Negative Contrast
You can contrast it with 'Khoraki' (Edible). 'In ghyarch khoraki nist, balke gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast.' (This mushroom is not edible, but rather inedible.)

You will hear غیر قابل خوردن in several specific real-world scenarios in Iran. The most common is in the realm of consumer protection and public health. On Iranian news channels like IRINN, during segments on food safety, health officials often use this term to describe confiscated goods. If a warehouse is found with expired products, the reporter will state that the items were 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' and subsequently destroyed. This provides a sense of officiality and legal weight to the description.

بازرسان بهداشت تن‌ها گوشت غیر قابل خوردن را معدوم کردند.

Translation: Health inspectors destroyed tons of inedible meat.

Another place you will encounter this is in educational settings—specifically in chemistry or biology classes. Teachers use it to categorize substances. In a Persian chemistry lab, a bottle might be labeled to indicate that its contents are not for consumption. Similarly, in nature documentaries (which are very popular in Iran), the narrator will use this term to describe poisonous berries or defensive mechanisms of animals. It is a word of warning and classification.

در کتاب‌های علوم، این مواد را غیر قابل خوردن می‌نامند.

Translation: In science books, these materials are called inedible.

In the culinary world, particularly in reality TV cooking shows (like the Persian versions of MasterChef), judges use this term as the ultimate critique. If a contestant serves raw chicken or a dish with far too much chili, the judge might say, 'In ghaza kamalan gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast.' This is a dramatic moment that signifies total failure in the task. Hearing it in this context helps learners understand its emotional impact—it's not just a technical term, but a powerful negative judgment.

داور مسابقه گفت که برنج شور و غیر قابل خوردن است.

Translation: The competition judge said the rice is salty and inedible.

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing غیر قابل خوردن with the simpler word 'bad-mazeh' (bad tasting). While something that is 'bad-mazeh' is unpleasant to eat, it is still technically edible. 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' implies a physical or safety impossibility. Using the latter when you simply mean 'I don't like this flavor' can sound overly dramatic or technically incorrect. For example, if a soup is just a bit bland, don't call it 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' unless you want to be very rude!

Mistake 1: Omitting the Ezafe
Saying 'Gheyr-e ghabel khordan' without the 'e' sound between 'ghabel' and 'khordan' is a common pronunciation error. It breaks the grammatical link that makes the phrase a cohesive adjective.

❌ غلط: این نان غیر قابل خوردن (بدون کسره).

Note: Ensure the 'e' sound is audible: Ghābel-e Khordan.

Another mistake is using 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' for non-food items that aren't *meant* to be eaten anyway. You wouldn't usually call a chair 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' because the expectation of edibility isn't there. The term is reserved for things that *look* like food or are in a food context but fail the test of edibility. For non-food items, you simply wouldn't use this term; it would be confusing. Use it only when the context of consumption is relevant.

شیر فاسد شده و در نتیجه غیر قابل خوردن است.

Translation: The milk has spoiled and consequently is inedible.

Finally, learners sometimes forget that 'Gheyr' is a formal negator. In very casual street slang, someone might just say 'Namishe khord' (It can't be eaten). Using 'gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' in a very casual setting with friends might make you sound like a textbook or a scientist. However, at the B1 level, using the formal term correctly is usually seen as a sign of good proficiency rather than a mistake.

Depending on why something cannot be eaten, there are several alternatives to غیر قابل خوردن. Understanding these nuances will help you sound more like a native speaker. If the food is dangerous because of toxins, use 'Sami' (Poisonous). If it is simply rotten, use 'Fased' (Spoiled). If it is too hard or tough to chew, you might use 'Seft' (Hard) or 'Lastiki' (Rubbery/Leathery).

Sami (سمی)
Meaning 'Poisonous'. This is a subset of inedible. All poisonous things are inedible, but not all inedible things are poisonous (e.g., a rock).
Fased (فاسد)
Meaning 'Spoiled' or 'Rotten'. Used specifically for organic matter that has decayed.

این غذا فاسد است، آن را نخور.

Translation: This food is spoiled, don't eat it.

For liquids, you can use 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e ashamidan' (Undrinkable). While 'khordan' is often used for drinking in casual Persian, 'ashamidan' is the technically correct verb for liquids. In formal writing or on bottled water, you will see 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e ashamidan' to indicate the water is not potable. Another term is 'Na-khoraki' (Non-edible), often used for items like decorative dough or wax fruit.

آیا این رنگ‌ها خوراکی هستند یا نه؟

Translation: Are these colors edible (food-grade) or not?

Finally, in a literary or poetic sense, you might hear 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e hazm' (Indigestible). While this can refer to food, it is more commonly used metaphorically for information or an idea that is 'hard to swallow' or difficult to process. As a B1 learner, stick to 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' for physical objects, but keep 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e hazm' in mind for more advanced metaphorical conversations.

How Formal Is It?

Wusstest du?

The 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e' structure is one of the most common ways to translate English '-able' or 'un-...-able' words into Persian, showing the language's ability to blend native verbs with Arabic abstract nouns.

Häufige Fehler
  • Using 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' for a person. → Gheyr-e ghabel-e tahammol (Unbearable).

    You can't eat a person (usually!), so calling them inedible makes no sense.

  • Writing 'Gheyr ghabel khordan'. → Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan.

    Missing the Ezafe connectors makes the grammar incorrect.

  • Confusing 'Gheyr' with 'Ghayr' (another spelling). → Gheyr (غیر).

    The spelling is fixed in Persian for this prefix.

  • Using it for a broken car. → Gheyr-e ghabel-e estefadeh (Unusable).

    Cars aren't food. Use 'estefadeh' (use) instead of 'khordan'.

  • Saying 'Khordani nist' in a legal report. → Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan ast.

    'Khordani nist' is too simple for a professional document.

Tipps

Master the Ezafe

The 'e' sound in 'Gheyr-e' and 'Ghabel-e' is essential. Without it, the phrase sounds like a list of words rather than a single description.

Be Careful with Criticism

Avoid using this word in social gatherings. If a meal is bad, just eat a little and say you are full.

Productive Prefix

Learn 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e' as a template. You can add 'didán' (seeing) to get 'invisible' or 'bāvar' (belief) to get 'unbelievable'.

Look for Signs

When hiking in Iran, look for this phrase on signs near water. It could save you from getting sick.

The 'Kh' Sound

Make sure your 'Kh' in 'khordan' is raspy and clear. It's the same sound as 'Lochness' or 'Bach'.

Spelling Arabic Words

Note that 'Gheyr' starts with 'Gheyn' (غ), not 'Ghaf' (ق). 'Ghabel' starts with 'Ghaf' (ق). Don't mix them up!

Watch News

Listen to health reports on Persian news. They use this term frequently when discussing food safety.

Check the Cause

If someone says food is 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan', always ask 'Chera?' (Why?) to see if it's spoiled or just badly cooked.

Formal vs. Informal

In a formal essay, use this word. In a text to a friend about a bad burger, use 'Namishe khord'.

Visual Cues

Associate the word with the color black (burnt) or green (mold) to remember it means 'cannot eat'.

Einprägen

Eselsbrücke

Think of 'Gheyr' as 'Gear' (shifting into reverse/negative). 'Ghabel' sounds like 'Cable' (a connection). 'Khordan' sounds like 'Core-done' (the core of the food is done). If the Gear is in reverse and the Cable to the Core is broken, it is Inedible.

Visuelle Assoziation

Imagine a big red 'X' over a plate of steaming, blackened, burnt pizza. The 'X' represents 'Gheyr'.

Word Web

Sami (Poisonous) Fased (Spoiled) Ghazā (Food) Khordan (Eat) Ghābel (Capable) Gheyr (Non) Dahan (Mouth) Shekam (Stomach)

Herausforderung

Try to find 3 things in your house that are 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khordan' (like soap or a rock) and say the phrase out loud for each.

Wortherkunft

The term is a Persian compound. 'Gheyr' is an Arabic loanword used extensively in Persian as a negative prefix. 'Ghabel' is also Arabic, meaning 'capable'. 'Khordan' is a pure Middle Persian (Pahlavi) word 'khvartan'.

Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The components literally mean 'Non-capable-of-eating'.

Indo-European (Persian) with Semitic (Arabic) influences.

Kultureller Kontext

Be careful using this with hosts. It is much stronger than 'I don't like it'.

Equivalent to 'Inedible' or 'Unfit for human consumption'.

Used in Iranian Health Ministry (Vezarat-e Behdash) public service announcements. Appears in 'Mosh-o-Ghorbeh' (Mouse and Cat) satirical poetry when describing bad food. Commonly used in Iranian culinary blogs to describe failed recipes.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

10 Fragen

Yes, in casual Persian 'khordan' is used for drinking. However, 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e ashamidan' is more formal for water.

Yes, it's extremely rude. It implies their food is like poison or trash. Use 'kam-namak' or 'ziad-pokhteh' instead.

Gheyn-Ye-Re (Gheyr), Ghaf-Alef-Be-Lam (Ghabel), Khe-Vav-Re-Dal-Noon (Khordan).

The opposite is 'قابل خوردن' (Ghabel-e khordan) or 'خوراکی' (Khoraki).

It is written as three separate words in Persian script, but functions as one adjective phrase.

Yes, you can say 'This plant is inedible for cats' using 'baraye gorbe-ha'.

Mostly yes, for adjectives. It's like 'un-' or 'non-' in English.

The components 'Gheyr' and 'Ghabel' are Arabic and appear in the Quran, but the full phrase is a Persian construction.

No, you would use 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e khandan' (unreadable) or 'Gheyr-e ghabel-e dark' (incomprehensible).

Rarely. Poetry usually uses more metaphorical or simple words like 'talkh' (bitter).
